v2.c29.845

A Bodhisatta, during his career, escapes from being born in eighteen inauspicious states (aṭṭhārasa abhabbatthānāni). He is never born blind, deaf, insane, slobbery (eḷamūga) or crippled, or among savages (milakkesu), in the womb of a slave, or as a heretic. He never changes his sex, is never guilty of any of the five ānantarikakammas, and never becomes a leper. If born as an animal, he never becomes less than a quail or more than an elephant. He is never born either among various classes of petas nor among the Kāḷakañjakas, neither in Avīci nor in the lokantaraka-nirayas, neither as Māra, nor in worlds where there is no perception (asaññibhava), nor in the Suddhāvāsas, nor in the Arūpa-worlds, nor ever in another Cakkavāḷa.⁷
